Hi Everyone! I want some advice. (Live Video Streaming)

Okay, i am pretty new to HTML and have Dreamweaver 8.

I recently got a domain and have managed through trail and error to get SEO working, Adsense, Embedding Videos from Youtube and a few other simple protocols and have even managed to get a forum uploaded using mybb platforms.

I now wish to start getting a little more complex and I thought I would join this site to get information.

I want to start streaming live video for webinar - I am lecturer on astrology and want to have live video feeds ready for when my internet speed is increased next Monday.

I have had a look around, but there is either a link that needs to be off the site, or I have to pay to have what I want - I am not into that at all.

How can I do the following?

To stream live video directly from my domain without using another server or site to embed and stream from

Link my webcam to this code protocol directly to my site

So I don't want to use some code from somewhere else if I don't have to, I want to use my own that will link to my cam and then stream directly from my own site.

I also want to have embedded links that people can share on other sites, like youtube has.

If this is possible and you know how to do it, I would appreciate your help - if you want to, you can add me on skype : john.brownsill and go through it piece by piece.

Streaming live video is a very complicated and difficult thing to do. I can almost guarantee you that it will be cheaper for you to pay for a streaming service than to try to set up something yourself.

If you're not willing to use a third party for it, then you at least need to be operating your own server. Streaming video yourself requires installing some type of video streaming server, which you can't do unless you have a dedicated server or high-end VPS. Additionally, the server requirements for running a video streaming server are very high.

Here's one option for a media streaming server platform: http://www.wowza.com/
Their recommended minimum system requirements are:

As a minimum we recommend a quad core system with at least 1 GB of RAM per core. To get the most throughput out of Wowza Media Server software we suggest you use RAID 0 or RAID 10 configurations with at least 2 or more disks in the array. Depending upon your application and load, you may need more or less horsepower.

You will also want at least a 100Mbps connection on the server.

For a development, staging or low traffic server they recommend:
